We cannot contain ourselves. There’s so much joy to have 40 plus years of Toni Morrison’s essays and speeches in one volume. This is why booklovers value their libraries — so much knowledge so close to home.
**The most celebrated and revered writer of our time now gives us a new nonfiction collection–a rich gathering of her essays, speeches, and meditations on society, culture, and art, spanning four decades.** *The Source of Self-Regard* is brimming with all the elegance of mind and style, the literary prowess and moral compass that are Toni Morrison’s inimitable hallmark. It is divided into three parts: the first is introduced by a powerful prayer for the dead of 9/11; the second by a searching meditation on Martin Luther King Jr., and the last by a heart-wrenching eulogy for James Baldwin. In the writings and speeches included here, Morrison takes on contested social issues: the foreigner, female empowerment, the press, money, black matter(s), and human rights. She looks at enduring matters of culture: the role of the artist in society, goodness in the literary imagination, the Afro-American presence in American literature, and in her Nobel lecture, the power of language itself. And here too is piercing commentary on her own work (including *The Bluest Eye, Sula, Tar Baby, Jazz, Beloved,* and *Paradise)* and that of others, among them, painter and collagist Romare Bearden, author Toni Cade Bambara, and theater director Peter Sellars. In all, *The Source of Self-Regard* is a luminous and essential addition to Toni Morrison’s oeuvre.
